Childhood gives us our life's best memories. Memories that we cherish even when we get old. Childhood activities in every country, even with so many similarities, have a difference. Like what people use to do or play in Pakistan in their childhood, may have been a completely unknown thing to kids of western countries. But yet, those awesome games, we all played in our childhood, has made our childhood truly awesome.

Kids of today may not understand the charm of these games and activities, but if you are a late 80s or 90s kid, you will relate to these things and will cherish how these things made your childhood awesome as these are the things every almost Pakistani did in their childhood.

1) Playing Luddo

A veteran multi-player game that didn't need battery or electricity. That mighty 6 (chakka) we all wished for.

2) Pithhu Gol Garam

Truly desi and a multi-player game. Hitting that tiny mountain-of-rocks with a ball and then running to save yourself from that ball.

5) Super Classy Dramas

Ainak wala jin, Pakistan's very own Harry Potter series. These dramas not just added charm in our lives but also played a part in grooming and learning.

6) You learned how to balance on a single leg

Being a murgha along with your friends, that was meant to be a punishment, sometimes used to have funny endings. When the punishment sessions were prolonged, you learned how to use balance technique to complete punishment time.


7) Patangg-Baazi

Such an energetic and full of life activity we all enjoyed in those peaceful days. Such an economical entertainment.

8) Our Childhood Dehshatgardi Tool

Throwing this veteran drone to our friends and making them panic with those little sounds.

9) A safe water game

We all played. Putting those little ribbon balls on tower-tops with the help of water-pressure was a skill at that time.

10) Our First Game Console

Brick Games. Every game looked almost same, yet we had a favorite game among them.

11) Badshah ka wazeer kon?

Another multiplayer game we all enjoyed. A game of guess where you gotta guess who is Sipahi and who is Chor.

Awesome man, brings back so many old memories, recently I started watching Alpha Bravo Charlie on PTV WORLD. Damn there is something about that drama which just takes you back to that old time. "goosebumps"
 
if the ball was lost for a moment or fielder took time to recover when playing at home or in confined space, we used to keep running between the wickets sometimes scoring 50 on a single ball until................. uncle ruined it by telling reality
